Student testimonials

 "I had bullied someone before, but one day when I was sitting down I realized something. I realized that there was no reason to bully that person. Then I started to think about all the times that I had been bullied. I said to myself to stop, no more. The next day when I had come to school I told the girl that I am sorry and I asked her to forgive me, and that I know how it feels to be bullied. Since that day me and her had been good friends and I never bullied her again. I was once bullied so much that I didn't want to go to school, that's why I didn't want to talk about it, but when my friends said it out loud to everyone that gave me confidence to tell you."

"Everytime I came to dance class I always looked forward to Circle Talk, it allowed me to be open with myself even when I didn't feel like it. Being here made me feel safe to be the real me."

"Dance to Unite encouraged me into doing things. I never been to a dance class where you dance and let your feelings out. Miss Galit taught me how to work out my problem. When I had problems in school Galit was the first one I will go to."

—Mimi Ambroise, Dance to Unite 9 year old student, letter.

"You're the best teacher of dance that I ever had, I wish we could have dance every single day—not just Thursday. I think I know the dance perfectly."
